Wrestling fans on Twitter could not contain their excitement about Raine’s appearance as one user wrote, “Considering a lot of people online were trying to tell her what to do with her career, this swerve makes a lot of sense imo. Looking forward to seeing her perform in the ring." Another said, "Her dad joined a group when he first started, how fitting is it when his daughter does the same. So awesome."

Praising Raine's turn to professional wrestling, one user wrote, "This is great. She has her own character and that’s great. More then just the rocks daughter. Gonna love seeing how she develops." Another commented, "An soon to Be the New People’s Champion. Like Father like daughter." One user tweeted, "The Rock would be proud. I think."

Raine, the daughter of The Rock and his first wife Dany Garcia, is preparing to start the weekly broadcast portion of her pro wrestling career as part of a villain faction with Gacy, Rip Fowler, and Jagger Reid. The 4th generation pro wrestler from the Johnson family is set to grace the limelight just as her father did.
